Travers Stakes Tickets

The Travers Stakes, held at Saratoga Race Course near Saratoga Springs, New York, is the oldest major thoroughbred horse race in the United States.

First held in 1864, it was named for William Travers, the president of the old Saratoga Racing Association at the time whose horse Kentucky won the first running of the Travers Stakes. Aside from 1896, 1898, 1899, 1900, 1911 and 1912, it has been held every year since. The prize-winning horse Flower Alley won the 136th Travers Stakes on August 27, 2005.
